I don't think it really matters what Figure you use. Just about every character out there has something odd about it, but does it really matter in the end?

Poser has the Morph Brush, which is very handy. Many of us have been digging into CR2 files for years, so there is no mystery there either. If something does not look the way you think it should, get in there and change it. Is V4 perfect? Well no, but everyone has been using it for years and has a lot of content for it. Is there a perfect character? No, and we all know that. All of them have issues, and people are going to tell people what they think should be done to it to make it better.

It is odd to me how lots of people instantly jump onto the next character and claim that it is the next best thing, then when the next one comes out they jump on that one as well. But in the end, many go back to V4 (or whatever Figure they prefer to use)

It really does not matter what Figure anyone uses, and people have said why they still use V4. I rarely use her, but who other than me really cares about that?

Apparently a lot of people do.... And the "Best Figure Wars" start all over again, even thou many are still using whatever Figure they want too. Which may not even be the one they claim to be the next best figure............

Here is a scene to show what can be done with just about any Figure. I could do this with any Figure, it doesn't really matter to me which one either.

V4~WM, this is my version of it which is based on the Poser Place one. Which still has goofy shoulders... lol... Syyds Vanilla Sky textures that I have modded. 

V4_Shoulders_S.jpgV3~WM, this is my version.

And here is Dawn, again one of my mods. Modded default textures.

Are all of them perfect? Well no, not really.... The differences between them are obvious. They are in the same scene, the same lighting, etc. The textures had to be modded to fit the lighting setup, simply because I use a rather non traditional lighting setup in Poser. And just because I tend to do that to a lot of content.

Was it all point and click? Well, not really. I had to spin some dials, mod the pose to fit the rigging better, etc. But what it does show is that I don;t really care what Figure it is, I can get it into a scene without pulling my hair out. 

There is no make art button aside from the one Phil put into Wardrobe Wizard.

The best part about Figures, is having the choice out of entire line up of them. At least to me anyway....
